Dear, this evening seemed to go so awfully fast We had so much fun and now you're home at last I look forward to a kiss or two at the garden gate But she gave me just one peck and insisted it was late Give me five minutes more, only five minutes more Let me stay, let me stay in your arms Here am I, begging for only five minutes more Only five minutes more of your charms All week long I dreamed about our Saturday date Don't you know that Sunday morning you can sleep late? Give me five minutes more, only five minutes more Let me stay, let me stay in your arms All week long I dreamed about our Saturday date Don't you know that Sunday morning you can sleep late? Give me five minutes more, only five minutes more Let me stay, let me stay in your arms, ah, come on
